The equation of a line in its slope-intercept form is


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{ Where m is the slope of the line and} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \end{gathered}

So, in this case, you have


\begin{gathered} m=(4)/(3) \\ b=0 \end{gathered}

Now, you have


\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ \text{ Replacing} \\ y=(4)/(3)x+0 \\ y=(4)/(3)x \end{gathered}

Therefore, the equation of the line will be:


y=(4)/(3)x
